Contrasting Locards Exchange Principle and Carbon Foot Printing . Whatta Relationship

Every contact you make with another person ,place , or object results in an exchange of physical material. If you own a pet this exchange of material is well known to you(Lyle ,2012)  Known as he Locard Exchange Principle after Edmond Locard the French police officer who first noticed it ; the exchange of materials is the basis of modern forensics investigations . Using the principle forensic scientists can determine where a suspect has been by analyzing trace evidence (Any Small ) pieces of evidence  such as fibers on clothing , hair in cars , or that gunk on the bottom of a shoe can be evaluated and analyzed  as well as used as corroborative evidence to seek an indictment of a suspected criminal . The premise here is the method and the principle as overarching process in scientific application ; how ever what would happen if we applied the same principle to  the carbon foot print principle ? . Can we make the contrast between the two principles in using trace evidence in carbon foot print to indict environmental criminals ? The proposal is not to far fetched . Infact forensic anthropologist use relevant concepts when engaged in field study . One of the discoveries made in Isreal were that solid fuel were used to prepare meals during the BC years ;these are years before crist . Why is this relevant to the topic under study ? because they also noticed environmental changes in the region  under there study to manifest climate changes similar to the climate changes seen today. When we appraise the two principles ; Carbon Foot Print and Locard Exchange Principle these demonstrate similar approaches in seeking out evidence which will allow a just accountability I human behavior . What are the implications of these principles to public health ? Well the implications vary ; but one of the most important tools used in public health are public health law which allows for the application of both principles when environmental protection is concerned . The interesting premise are that of using Locards Exchange Principle in public health research ; particularly if this research is placed within a public health law design . Carbon foot printing needs to be a part of all human activity and should be taught in elementary schools beginning in the fifth grade when children begin developing moral and ethical values ; Erickson called this developmental stage Industrial stage . This application will teach children about accountability for there behavior  within there environment and accountability in other environments . What say you ?
